Kid... do you have a death wish??
Naz's father glared wide-eyed at the young man before him.
What had he just heard?
The other party actually said... he came to take Naz as his apprentice??
Hahahahahahahaha...
If you can succeed, I'll strip down to my underwear and Teleport to the League Headquarters to dance!
Due to Naz's wilfulness, in order to give challengers a slightly normal experience, her father would always make a timely appearance, pretending to be a passerby to offer some help or reminders.
During this time, he had seen all kinds of challengers.
There were the arrogant ones, and the naive ones as well.
But he had never seen someone like Fang Yuan.
As a result, the old man suddenly felt rather... uncomfortable.
"Do you know who I am???"
The Psychic Uncle suddenly looked at Fang Yuan with a serious expression.
"...Does this have anything to do with me wanting to take Naz as an apprentice?" Fang Yuan looked blankly at the uncle.
However, the more he looked, the more familiar the other party seemed.
Could it be that this uncle was also a character from the original story?
After thinking hard, Fang Yuan suddenly had a realization, could it be...
Naz's embarrassing dad?
Since he wasn't a major character, nor a beautiful female side character, Fang Yuan had basically no impression of him, but he vaguely remembered that there was such a person.
"I'll be honest with you, I am Naz's dad."
Before Fang Yuan could respond, the Psychic Uncle calmly smiled and began, "You don't even recognize me, which shows that you're not a Trainer from the Psychic field; stop fooling around and leave the Goldenrod Gym."
"Otherwise, you will regret it."
Although his Psychic abilities were completely incomparable to Naz's, he was still a very famous Psychic Master in the Psychic field, and top-notch skills like Teleport came easily to him!
Fang Yuan didn't even recognize him, clearly a complete outsider, yet he dared to talk about taking Naz as an apprentice—such a far-fetched idea.
Even he, and those he considered top Psychic Masters, not a single one dared claim they could teach Naz.
Those who dared to say so in the past ended up turned into dolls by Naz's Psychic powers.
"Uncle, are you really Naz's dad?"
Fang Yuan, seeing the Psychic Uncle, was suddenly delighted, "Then that's perfect, uncle, could you introduce me? You also want Naz to make further progress in the Psychic field and become the strongest Psychic, right?"
Psychic Uncle: ?
I do indeed hope that, but what does that have to do with you???
"Bwoo..." Eevee, perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder, was already accustomed to Fang Yuan's nonsensical words.
He was originally supposed to learn about Psychic powers from the Psychic lineage at the Goldenrod Gym, so why had he now switched to taking on an apprentice, and so boldly at that?
This time, Eevee admitted its loss, unable to foresee Fang Yuan's tactics—it was truly worthy of being its Trainer.
"Are you serious???"
At this moment, the Psychic Uncle really wanted to just send Fang Yuan packing.
However, as Fang Yuan released a wave of Mental Fluctuation, the Psychic Uncle's expression froze.
He sensed Fang Yuan's Mental Fluctuation and, with a darkened face, said:
"You don't actually believe that with your level of superpower, you could take Nastina as your apprentice, do you? Who taught you your superpowers, do you even know how the levels of superpowers are classified??"
"Do you even know at what level you stand??"
"If you don't know, let me tell you."
"Just beginning to learn meditation, but not yet able to manifest tangible Confusion, constitutes as a superpower user who has yet to enter the threshold!"
"Those who have manifested Confusion and can bend metal spoons with their mind have made a basic entrance, but in the major superpower dojos, they are only considered as superpower apprentices."
"And when Confusion can be used to control multiple objects to levitate around oneself, or even to make oneself float, that is considered an official Psychic."
"Being able to effortlessly defeat most ordinary Pokémon in the wild with mind power, easily connect with Pokémon through Mind Induction, that's the mark of a Senior Superpower User."
"As for those who have developed more uses of superpowers, such as using superpowers to enhance Pokémon's strength beyond their level, or Future Sight, Teleport, they can be considered top-level Psychic Masters."
"Your level of superpower, at best, is just at a senior level, and Nastina could crush you with just one finger!" said the Psychic Uncle.
"And you're still bragging to me... I €#%#€" the Psychic Uncle shook his head.
However, he was quite surprised that Fang Yuan could demonstrate superpowers at a senior level.
At this age, at this level, although not at par with the superpower twins from Green Ridge Gym, Maple and South, or the prodigy One Tree from the superpower domain, Fang Yuan's talent still deserved recognition compared to most Psychics.
He indeed had some capital.
But to think of taking Nastina as an apprentice, that was still a pipe dream!
"Uncle, don't say that. The accomplishment of a Psychic shouldn't merely rely on the power of superpowers, right? It should be judged by the skill in using them," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Are you saying your Superpower Techniques are impressive?" the Psychic Uncle was taken aback, then thought to himself with a laugh.
Fang Yuan was right; Superpower Techniques are indeed an important aspect for Psychics.
For example, Lady Jessie from the Kalos Region, although her own superpower was not very strong, because of the unique astrology she inherited that could predict disasters, few Psychics had a more distinguished status than her.
But such skills... could Fang Yuan possibly know them? He had never even heard of the Heart Source Style that Fang Yuan mentioned.
Besides, Nastina's greatest strength wasn't her superpower intensity at all; in terms of superpower strength, the Super Power King from Unova was the most talented in that regard. Even though Nastina wasn't weak in this area, what she was most skilled at were precisely the techniques of using superpowers.
To talk about techniques with Nastina, he thought Fang Yuan was being delusional.
Naz of Golden City, Caitlin, the Super Power King of Unova, the talents of these two, although different in focus, were both extremely formidable, formidable enough for the Psychic field to allocate them into a new category. It was a bit unpleasant to hear, but it accurately reflected their abilities.
Above Psychic Masters, a level beyond conventional ones, humanoid Psychic Type Legendary Pokémon!
So in the entire Superpower field, Nastina's father truly didn't believe there was anyone capable of mentoring Nastina in this area.
At barely a teenager, Nastina had already created many uses for superpowers, such as the terrifying ability to turn humans into dolls, or to create separate spaces, abilities no human has yet been able to replicate.
"Yes, I am very impressive, for instance in amplifying the strength of Pokémon, I should be second to none," Fang Yuan said.
"I'm aware that Nastina's superpower intensity surely surpasses mine, but besides being a Psychic, she is also a Trainer. How to strengthen a Pokémon with superpowers is something nobody is better than me at!!" Fang Yuan laughed.
"This, is something I can teach Nastina."
"Alright, enough said, in this aspect, Nastina is definitely better than you. So who on earth is your teacher, and didn't they ever tell you not to provoke Nastina?" the Psychic Uncle declared indignantly, for Nastina was after all his daughter, and he wouldn't admit anyone had more talent than her.
Fang Yuan wanted to say something else, but just then, the Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder suddenly looked up.
At the same time.
A cool female voice came out of nowhere.
"Dad, bring them in," she said.
As her voice ended.
The Psychic Uncle's face turned bitter as he looked at the unfortunate kid, Fang Yuan, and said, "It's over..."
Once that girl notices you, you won't be leaving easily.
